Objective: In order to reduce the incidence of osteoporosis, this paper attempts to analyze the relationship between physical activity and bone density, hoping to reduce the occurrence of osteoporosis, and to put forward effective suggestions. Methods: In this study, a random sample of 148 college students from Shenyang Sport University was randomly sampled and grouped according to physical activity, with male subjects less than 1,000 MET·min as the first group, 1,000-2,000 MET·min as the second group, and greater than 2,000 MET·min as the third group. Female subjects were discussed with less than 1,000 MET·min as the first group and 1,000-2,000 MET·min as the second group. The Lunar Prodigy dual-energy X-ray bone density scanner produced by GE (General Electric Company) was used to measure bone mass, while measuring physical activity using the International Physical Activity Scale. In this study, an independent sample t-test was performed for height, weight, and physical activity volume, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze physical activity and bone mass indexes. Results: The bone density of the subjects was generally above the normal level, and the T value and Z value were positive. The bone mass index of college students from Shenyang Institute of Physical Education increased with physical activity, and the increase in male students was greater than that in female students. Physical activity has a greater impact on a man’s bone health.
